The great thing about Animal Planet, TLC, and Discovery is that they usually run their night time shows in 3 or 4 hour loops. If you miss a show chances are it will be back on in a couple hours.

Speaking of animal planet.... have you ever noticed how on those "crocodile wrestler" shows when they catch a lizard or a snake they say exactly what it is, but when they pick up a spider it's just a "spider" or a Tarantula? :?

For the T specials that I've seen I'll say that it's good, but I'd much rather see a documentary aimed at people that don't need so much talking down to. Any nice movies of Ts being Ts is nice, but it just rings a little too bubblegum to me.

A little more scientific accuracy couldn't have hurt either. E. g. the bit about how bad their eyesight is is debated even for something like a burrowing T and it's clearly off for something like a Pokie.

C_M...you are picking nits again ;)
For a documentary (even a staged one) it's damn good. Good footage, MOSTLY accurate information, and given in a positive light....
And no 'scary music' in the background...it almost sounded like some new age music whilst the versicolors mated....
Hey, it's one of the best I've seen done so far.
I wish they'd have used latin names though!

My guide says Sunday at 2:00 pm. Guess the IRBA show will have to be the early shift!!

CM, we're just too intelligent! The editorial people here at the newspaper are told to write articles for a 4th grade reading level because studies show that is where most of the population's reading level is!

I usually don't pay attention to the words anyway, the visuals get so many ooohs and aaaaahs from us, you can't hear it anyway! Maybe we should record some good background music over the audio!!
